Hey guys n girls.
I am trying to fix my dads VS Calais series 2. It is an ecotec v6 and the power steering has totally disappeared, and worst still, the steering wheel locks up completely when the car is started. When the car is switched off and u wish 2 push it then it turns fine however once u start the engine it locks in2 position and requires 2 hands really pushing to move it, and then it locks again.
I have already replaced the hoses, including the high pressure Hose and have taken the pump out and flushed it with diesel to clean it, but stil no luck. :ranting:
my next move is to replace the pump. however at $160 it seems to be a costly exercise if it is not the true cause. i wonder has anyone else had this problem and how did they go about fixing it? cos i am really stuck at the momnent :b:
